The
Closet
A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at
work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, he sees them and hides
in the bedroom closet to watch.
The
woman's husband also comes home.
She puts her lover in the closet, not
realizing that the little boy is already in there.
The little boy says ,
"Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes, it is."
Boy: "I have a
baseball."
Man: "That's nice"
Boy: "Want to buy it?"
Man: "No,
thanks."
Boy: "My Dad's outside."
Man: "OK, how much?"
Boy:
"$250"
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover
are in the closet together.
Boy: "Dark in here."
Man: "Yes, it
is."
Boy: "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time,
asks the boy, How much?"
Boy: "$750"
Man: "Sold."
A
few days later, the Dad says to the boy, "Grab your glove, let's go outside and
have a game of catch."
The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my
glove."
The Dad asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
Boy:
"$1,000"
The
Dad says, "That's terrible to over charge your friends like that...that is way
more than those two
things cost. I'm taking you to church, to
confession."
They
go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth
and closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says,
"Don't start that crap again, you're in my closet now."
